The Latina Executive Leadership Program is an exciting initiative of the HNBA’s Commission on Latinas in the Profession. This nine month high level leadership program is geared towards Latina lawyers who have been in the profession for more than 10 years and are high potential. For this year’s program we will only be accepting applicants who are in a law firm or corporate legal departments. The curriculum for this program will focus on executive legal management, soft skills leadership training and executive coaching. Through monthly interactive group presentations and individual coaching, attendees will leave with skills to effectively manage legal teams, capitalize on opportunities for advancement, and navigate barriers to authentic leadership.
